Narrative review highlights liver metastases in neuroendocrine tumors and key imaging techniques for diagnosis.
Prompt and accurate identification of liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumors, arising from the gastrointestinal system and from the pancreas, through the means of both anatomical and functional diagnostic imaging techniques is mandatory. A patient’s prognosis and treatment planning are dependent on these diagnostic procedures. The aim of this narrative review is to depict the common appearance of liver metastases, as well as to depict atypical imaging patterns. Moreover, this review will cover the differential diagnosis between liver metastases from neuroendocrine tumors and other primary and secondary malignant liver lesions, as well as benign liver lesions.
